Set Yourself Free

I haven’t posted anything on this blog in a long time.  In about a year…

I came up with this last night:

 

A photo captured has no purpose if it simply stays within the camera.  The photo has to be exposed for the greatness to be fully revealed.  The same is true with knowledge.  The same is true with goodness.  The same is true with truth.

 

set yourself free

reveal yourself

you shall see

 

- Having knowledge without sharing it is as if one knows nothing.

- Having goodness without sharing it is as if one has no good.

- Having truth without sharing it is as if one is allowing falsehood to spread.

tears

 

 

 No one sees the tears that I cry
The tears that no one sees

No one knows the pain that I feel
The pain that I feel no one knows

The sadness
The abandonment
The heartbreak

Yeah my heart aches

Sharp pains in my chest
Surely in Allah do hearts find rest

O Allah dry my tears
do away with my fears
relieve my pain

O Allah I beg you

The sadness
The abandonment
The heartbreak

How much more of this can I take?

Help me, O Allah, help me
Release me from this misery
I get down on my knees
and beg You, my Lord, please

Looking up at the stars in the sky

Looking up at the stars in the sky

Wondering why
Wondering why

Who am I
and how could I

Who are they
and how could they

Why this pain
why these tears

Looking up at the stars in the sky

Remembering why
remembering why

Who I am
and how I could

Who they are
and how they could

Know this pain
know these tears

Allah knows my fears

Looking up at the stars in the sky
